ex: x2 = 5x + 6
x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 Quadratic equation-y = ax2 + bx + c
--
ex: 3 is a root of x2 - 5x + 6 = 0 b/c 32 - 5(3) + 6 = 0.
• AKA "zeros" -- the value of the variable makes the polynomial = 0. • the x-intercepts
ab = 0 if and only if a = 0 or b = 0 or both • can be extended to any number of factors
